The Frontier Woman . . . How About Pop and Kids Getting Dinner, Doing Dishes for Mother on Her Day! Motners day is next Sunday. I think it would be very nice if pop would take her out to din ner. And, if that is out of the question, how about the kids getting the meal with pop lend ing a helping hand? And that includes doing the dishes after ward! Then mom will feel like it was xeally mother’s day, instead of a day when she had to get a big meal and wash a pile of dishes afterward. Make it a holiday for apron strings! If the children are big enough —here's an idea: Make a regula tion coffee cake for breakfast, l>ut use this honey crisp topping to make it special! Cream together three table spoons softened butter (or mar garine) and 1/3 cup honey until light and fluffy. Add V* cup shredded cocoanut, Vz cup crushed corn flakes and % cup drained, crushed pineapple and mix thoroughly. Spread on cof fee cake batter. Makes topping lor one coffee cake. If daughters or sons have a May luncheon for their mothers, as they sometimes do, they may want to serve a fruit plate and dainty finger sandwiches. Use any of the fresh fruits that are now on the market combined with those on your pantry shelf. Arrange a bed of frilly lettuce ■or curly endive on the luncheon i-—- -i ^ plate. Then arrange on it peach or pear halves, the centers filled with fresh blueberries, then wedges of cantaloupe or honey dew melon with rind removed, banana quarters, grapefruit sec tions, cut up fresh pineapple. You can substitute other fruits if you wish. Give some thought to the arrangement of fruit on the plates, and to the color com bination. Complete the arrange ment with a scoop of lemon or lime sherbet to complement the fruit flavors. For the salad dressing, thin some mayonnaise with whip ped cream, makes a fluffy dressing that's just right with the fruit. Three-decker finger sandwich es are attractive accompani ments. Trim the crusts from bread slices. Spread a third of the slices with peanut butter, top with another slice of bread, spread jelly on second slice and top with a third slice of bread. Cut the three-deckers into strips about an inch wide. Arrange two or three sandwiches on each salad plate and also pass on some extras. —tfw— School Teacher Wins Subscription— Dear Blanche: It has been several years now since I have written to your de partment, although I read the paper each week. Your topic seems to have enticed me to write again. , As my work teaching keeps me very busy, I just haven’t the time to write. In January I planted some carnation seed. Well, w^hen these » _ were about an inch high, they froze. The I replanted and my school room windows have an individual potted carnation for each pupil’s mother for mother s day. Each pot will be covered with foil with a bright colored ribbon tied around each one. We have mother’s day cards ready to be colored (red carnations) and each child shall in his very best script, print a favorite verse, the author’s name I do not remem ber, but it reads: I wish that I might Always be, All that my mother Wished for me. It is to be kept a secret (we hope) until mother’s day. The children can hardly wait and if the day would only arrive sooner! Our tomato plants are about four inches high and they will soon have to be transplanted outdoors. We have had rice, cotton and date plants in our room. We have had no success with the cocoa seed. Our cannas are al most two feet high. The dahlia is coming right along, too. When a member of the family of one of our students or a friend is ill, we send them a card sign ed by each pupil, and now they do not hesitate to immediately mention when a friend or mem ber of the family is ill. So far this spring, we have had only a few warm days. Al though we do hope spring is just around the corner. “A TEACHER” —tfw— All Quiet After Siege of Flu— Dear Frontier Woman: It’s been ages since I wrote to you. I’m sure you haven’t miss ed me, but I sure miss The Fron tier and your column. All is quiet and peaceful after over a week of the flu. Youngsters back in school and 4-year-old cutting pictures. After seeing four people sick at once, temperatures raging, I pause to think how thankful we can be for our everyday hub bub. I feel sorry for the persons who can't be happy in their everyday grind, who keep looking at the pleasanter mo ments of other people and begrudging themselves and their families the full happy days they should be enjoying. Oh, we all have an off day now and then, but there is so much to live for. Children are a challenge, we can learn a lot from them. When I send my 6-year-old to the kitchen to wash dishes, he says, “Sure I’ll wash dishes, but I aim to have my fun.” And he does. Maybe it takes him half an hour but I sit quietly and crochet, or write a letter. With six brothers and sisters away from home, it does take quite a lot of letters. Dishes finished, 6-year-old is Roy Rogers again, I’m shot in the hip, I must limp — a mean limp — while I brush up the floor. Big sister dotes on making cup cakes. She is 8 now, and anxious to get at the sewing ma chine. I have cut some quil^ patches for her. She loves to em broider when she isn’t climbing a tree or the bam, that is. Dad comes in hunting a maple stick and a 6-year-old to drive the tractor for him. He can do a good job, too. It takes time and _j i i # i anu waiLmuiucas ana a few stern corrections, to teach children, but they are happy in doing things and proud of their accomplishments. I have to make a couple phone calls. It’s so nice to have some one remember you, and so easy to put it off. Just finished putting some fresh pork from the locker in a pan of smoked salt brine. Ever try it? Gives it that cured flavor and is easily done. Got company—see you later “ANOTHER MOM.” —tfw— Recipe of the Week— CHERRY COOKIES This is a quick mix drop cookie that even the youngsters can make and bake.

Gosh, I bet she smothered the poor guy. If a person is certain he knows everything, there remains a great deal for him to learn. If you practice what you preach, you can’t have too much time for preaching. Advice is always something for the other fellow to take.

' One hundred and one new diesel locomo tives, totaling 144,950 horsepower will soon see service along our line and in our yards. This 16 million dollar addition to our motive power fleet is an important move in our program of progressive railroading, for its effect will be felt throughout the com munities in the 9500 miles we serve. It is no secret that modern diesel power moves people and goods faster, safer and more efficiently, thereby improving the basic service that railroads have always provided —that of bringing people, products and markets together. Modem motive power alone does not make : a great railroad, but add to this the many improvements being made daily to our roll ing stock, roadbed, terminal and yard facil ities, coupled with the efforts of 35,000 trained employees and you come up with a railroad geared for safe, high-speed mass transportation. Such is the service we sell in nine great midwestem states backed up with 105 years of railroading experience.
